Thursday, dropped H off at daycare - no problems! Fantastic! I think now my biggest problem is that Jakey misses her. He isn't the same during the day. J and I hung out in the morning and met Avi for lunch. Then it was off to pick H up around 3ish. It took me 30 minutes to get her off their playground!
They built a new structure and Hannah was soooo happy that wouldn't leave. I had to bribe her with the movie store! So we did errands then came home, then I put the kids to bed and headed out to meet a friend for drinks at Filthy's.
Friday we headed to the park to meet up with Brenda-Keith & Judah, and Jen-Sydney. The Kanata Lakes Parks are very nice. I like the wood structures so much better than plastic! Then we headed to Brenda's for lunch and play. Hannah again, was pretty upset when we went to leave. I guess coming home to her toys isn't much fun?!
At night, I took the kids to Filthy's for dinner to meet my friend from London. The kids, again, were superstars. Yahoo! I was pretty nervous in that environment. Like the good mom I am, I brought the kids home after dinner, put them to bed, and headed back to Filthy's to start the night kids-free. It was a fun time!
Saturday we headed to the Walter Baker Park bright and early with the kids. Amanda and Ellard met up with us there and we all went to East Side's for lunch.
In the afternoon I took the kids to Dawn's Baby Shower while Ced worked. That was a little tough. I don't think kids like going to baby showers - I got the point 5 minutes in when they started to play chase. Good times!
A little McDonalds drive-thru on the way home and put the kiddies to bed and Ced & I headed to Amanda & Ian's for some Rockband/Bingo! I won on the second game 24$ - very cool! Thank god Amanda saw it :)
Sunday we had the McQuinn's over for a bbq. Their daughter Shayla is almost 2 and Cora almost 4. The kids ran wild and ate lunch at the picnic table - very cute to watch!
In the afternoon we had Ian & Amanda & Ellard over for a bbq - Jakey ate in the bumbo - we couldn't find the spare high chair. Right after dinner, Amanda & I headed to Bingo again! We let the boys clean up/put the kids to bed - naaaice. Although I didn't win last night, it was super fun!
Today - rain & ... well, most of the morning the kids played on their own so I could get the
laundry/dishes/cleaning/organizing done ... BUT ... My amazing sister (in-law) and brother asked me if I wanted to meet them at Cosmic Adventures with Hannah and Jake and they'd help me! Wow! I was at Cosmic within the hour!!! Ellard loved the ball pit & slide, Jakey, well, just smiled and chased balls, and Hannah was SUPER happy! It was super crowded but totally worth the trip there.
After, we just chilled - ate - bathed - bed. Then I got yummy Pho!!
News & Notes:
1. Jakey can now eat an apple whole. No need to cut it up/peel it. Just give one to each kid and poof - a snack.
2. Hannah, if asked where she wants to go, says 'Cosmic' - this is the first time she's shown
forethought.
3. When passing a movie store now Hannah says 'movie please' - this is the first time she identifies the place with an action.
4. When Jake cries, or is upset, Hannah now says 'JP sad' and kisses him - this is the first emotion Hannah has discovered. We are working on fun now.
5. Jakey is officially a big boy! Well, in my opinion. He's no longer on formula, jarred food, baby
cereal, or bottles. It makes life so easy - leave the house with just 2 diapers, wipes, and 2 sippy
cups!!! 10.5 months later life is easy again!
That's all for now,
Cheers!
